CO-OPERATION between the public and this company will go far toward solving the question. THERE will not be sufficient gas to heat all of Cleveland's homes on cold days. YOU should therefore be prepared, on those cold days, to substitute other fuels, or there will not be enough gas even for cooking and water heating purposes.

A Detroit "Afro" held here for stealing a score of high priced automobiles in Detroit and disposing of them in Cleveland at prices ranging from $15 to $50 may be turned over to federal authorities instead of being extradicted to Michigan, police said. Monday. Fourteen of the automobiles have been recovered here and police said they expect to find ten or twelve more in the city. The man under arrest told police he took them from Detroit streets and drove them to Cleveland without altering the appearance of the cars or even changing the license numbers. Five men who, police say, were purchasers of the stolen automobiles, were arrested, Monday, on charges of suspicion. It is said Councilman Tom Fleming notified the police of an auto stealer after drawing up several bills of sales for him. We are not so sure that this is not the fellow Tom "turned up." Natives in Portuguese East Africa — A Famine Threaten—A Mill- ion and a Half of Them. New York City. A famine threatens the life of at least 1,500, 000 natives in Inhambans. Portuguese East Africa, reports Rev. J. D. Pointer of, Wilmore, Ky., who has just returned on a furlough, from missionary service in this country. The famine area extend about 300 miles north and south and about 100 miles inland, from the coast. About 1,500,000 people live there, of whom some 6,000 are Christians. The 1922 harvest which usually comes in March o April, was a total loss because of lack of rain. Most of the lake have dried up and there is practi- cally no irrigation. Corn and pean- tars are the main crops, though the tapifoca plant and sweet potato- s are also raised. None of these articles have been grown throughout the territory since March, 1921, and since the natives have no money, they have been unable to avail themselves of supplies coming by boat from the Transvaal. Even this grain has been held at the prohibitive price of $2 per bushel. As a result large numbers of people have been dying since last April; the number will run into many thousands before the harvest of April, 1922, says Mr. Pointer. GEORGIA, WORST OFFENDER Twenty-two Lynch-Marders This Year—Four Convicted—Fifteen to be Tried—One Indictment in Previous. Atlanta, Ga.—That there has been a surprising increase of anti-lynching sentiment in Georgia, recently, and a growing determination on the part of some Georgia people that the sanctity of the law must be upheld, was clearly indicated in reports made to the State Committee on Race Relations in its recent annual meeting in this city. It was polled out that during the present year twenty-two indictments have been returned against alleged lynchers and four convictions secured, carrying pennantary sentences. Fifteen of these cases are still to be tried, most of them on the charge of murder, besides a number of damage suits growing out of injuries and losses inflicted by mobs. In one lynching case both the deputy sheriff and the chief of police are under indictment. The significance of these facts was emphasized by the statement that in the 37 years ending with 1921 there had been 430 lynchings in Georgia and that record of only one indictment in all that time had been found. The state and county face relations committees have been active in a number of recent cases, conducting investigations, seeking evidence, and otherwise supporting local officials in their efforts to eliminate the law. The need of an effective prohibition law in the state like Ohio's was stressed and the role of prohibition in drafting and getting such a bill before the next legislature was delegated to a committee of comment jurists headed by Judge Samuel H. Adams of Savannah. ADDITIONAL LOCALS A warrant charging Richard ("Dick") Sissle, 2215 E. $2nd St., former probation officer, with embezzlement, was issued two weeks ago. Wednesday, by Chief Police Prosecutor Lee Skel, Asama Smith, 3620 Central Ave., assorted. Sissle had reduced his fine of $100 and costs to $55, and then did not credit him with its payment. Sissle is said to have stated he did not enter the money on his books because he wanted to wait until the $100 and costs had been paid. He denied reducing the fine. Skel stated he had recently received six complaints relative to Sissle's handling of city funds. Sissle resigned under fire about three weeks ago. Mother Katherine Drexel, founder and superior of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, arrived in Cleveland, Monday night, to learn of the work being done among Afro-American Catholics here. She is staying with three sisters of this community at 2348 E, 79th St., until the end of this week. Mother Katherine was in Cleveland three months ago. Since then she has made an extended trip in the west and south. The local Afro-American Catholic church movement is the one that Mr. and Mrs. Wm. R. Green, Selmo Glenn and others, protested so bitterly (against the establishment of) to Bishop Jos. Schrembs, but in vain. It is a most unfortunate colline move for the local Catholic church which prior to it was free from all demonstrations' of prejudice and prided itself in the fact. Most of our older Catholics refuse to affiliate with the segregated church movement. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Beaten At Every Turn They Are Resorting To The Most Despicable Methods The Case of a Widow With Four Children—Never Will Our People of Springfield Accept a "Jim Crow" School—Still Wasting the Tax-Payers' Money! (Special to the Gazette.) Springfield, O. The notices, to parents in the Fulton school district to send their children to school have been generally ignored as advised by the attorneys of the Civil Rights Protective League, it so far as to sending children to the Fulton school. As the notice ordered the children sent to "some recognized school," parents were further advised to take their children to the schools where the white children of their respective neighborhoods had been sent when Supt. McCord inaugurated his plan to "fim crow" the Fulton school. Accordingly children were presented at the Highland, Garfield, Western and Gray Hill schools where they were refused admission by the principals who declared they were acting under orders from Supt. McCord. By this, it is evident that our pupils are not to have the same privilege as the whites in attending any school outside of their district. And as in the Garfield district where our children, belonging in that district, have been ordered to the Fulton school, it ought to be evident to the simplest mind what would have happened if McCord, with the assistance of his Negro tools, could have "put over" his numerous scheme. The unexpected resistance of our liberty-love and self-self-respecting people has balked this, the boldest and most determined assault ever made upon the guaranteed rights of any people. Growing desperate as the day of judgment approaches, McCord and his hand-picked male members of the school board are resorting to their usual tectics of chicanery and terror to escape the consequence of their attempt to override the law. Following the service of no trespass, last work, it was expected that the usual legal proceedings would be started by ordering parents into the juvenile court. Describes shorts are being made to get some kind of a court decision to hold as a club or the heads of protecting parents without going into the juvenile court which is also provided over by Judge Gober who has already adjusted the school liaison in his temporary injunction. Such was the case when Wm McPherson was ordered into police court last Friday morning. Mr McPherson failed to notify the attorneys for the League, as parents have been advised to do in such cases, but fortunately Attor New Geo Daniels and Silly Jaynes heard of the case and appearing in court entered a plea of not guilty for Mr. McPherson. A demurrage has been entered by Mr. Jaynes threatening that the failure in such threats are being made of filing charges in the courts of the justices of the peace and the probate court and rumors of secret warrants being issued are appearing daily in the credit of our people. It is greatly that all the contempt-tricks are flatly falling to compel them to accept the humiliation of The McCord "jim crow" school. It has been stated by a city official who has shown himself to be an active ally of Supt. McCord that all this chicanery and oppressive injustice to our residents of the Fulton district is to enable Geo McCord to escape the penalty of his unlawful act and not have to pay out of his own pocket the salaries of his "jim crow" school teachers he brought here to help him establish his "jim crow" school and whom he will not use for any other purpose. Thus the assistance of the city government and the court are given to keep up a pretense of having a school in the Fulton district that the taxpayers might be mulled of the $14,000 to which these teachers' salaries, of which $4,000 has already been wasted in the salaries of 13 teachers and maintaining a 14-room school-building to teach an average of but 25 children. All these terroristic methods, failing to effect more than a slight increase, the blame is being placed upon "committees who per se uade and threaten those who wish to send their children to school." Thus the educational interests of the 250 children of that district is subordinated to the question of saving Geo McCord from the consequences of an act, the illegality of which he was warned of at the time it was proposed. A school superintendent of a broader mind would have distributed those teachers to other schools, since they have IN UNION IN STANDING erate! At Every Turn Resorting To The Recable Methods With Four Children—Never Will Field Accept a "Jim Crow" g the Tax-Payers' Money! incurred so very much enmity as to be unstable where they are; restored the school to its normal and local status and thus acquitted himself creditably instead of contemptibly as he has. As showing the spirit of "the best business in America," an incident was brought to the attention of the Civil Rights Protective League at its meeting, last Friday night, which shows that the social service bureau, which is supposed to look after the needy, is giving its assistance to this "jim crow" propaganda. A poor widow, with four children of school age, was denied assistance at that bureau when she told the person in charge that her children were not in school because she would not send them to an illegal "jim crow" school. As a result of this and other cases that have come to the attention of the League, our women have opened a department for the remaking and repairing of old clothing at the League headquarters, opposite the Fulton school building. All having any serviceable old clothing been asked to send the same to the headquarters. A special collection of $16.85 was taken to help in this work. Owing to the absence of Pres. Chas. L. Johnson, who was called out of town on business, Vice-President C. F. Keller, M. D., presided. Instructions were given to parents as to what they should do in case they were served with these notices to send their children to school. In continuance of the plan laid down at the beginning of the fight, the parents were assured of the League's support in case any were ordered into court, and that all they needed to do was to notify any of the League's attorneys. Speeches were made by Attorney Daniels, J. W. Leigh, Mr. Albert Duncan, Chas. W. Greene, Dr. F. W. Burton and other "A collection of $71.90 was taken." X. Y. C. Spittingfield, O.—Our local ministers and President Chas, L. Johnson of the C. R. P. League were recently, invited to meet the city manager, city prosecutor, chief of police and other white citizens for the alleged purpose of talking over the school question. The ministers except one, were in a quandary. The city manager called the meeting to order and began telling his hearers, up tally the ministers who were asked to tell their congregations, what was expected of them along law and order lines, etc. He did not, however, explain the chief of police's rank insult, sending a malicious gait and squad of police to "jim crow." Fulton school for the purpose of intimidating our loyal women pickets. Of course this move failed like all the rest but it was none the less an aggravating and unnecessary insult. That one Negro "minister" whom the school board is depending on to "slip a monkey-wrench in the running gear" of the C. R. P. League, made an insulting speech that only makes our people more determined than ever that he shall sooner or later leave this city. He's got to go! is the slogan. An effort was made to effect any kind of a compromise that would permit the "jim crow" school to operate but President Johnson told them that all of us would rot in jail before any such agreement would be entered into. And he told the truth: "The Old Reliable" Gazette and its local writers certainly have put a crimp in the local advocates of a "jim crow" school. Our people in every corner of this county, throughout the state and country, are reading in its columns of the magnificent and successful fight our people here are making for their children, their rights and privileges under the laws of Ohio. Hundreds of letters of encouragement have been received, many from out of the state, all showing how intensely interested in our success our people are everywhere. Everyone of them urge us on because our cause is right and just, and justice and right SHALL prevail. It is useless to try. to "brible" The Gazette. "Might as well try to dip the ocean dry with a sponge. Then, too, the freedom of the press is one of the fundamentals of this great state and country. "The Old Reliable" never says "no" when our rights are involved and will give the news without fear or favor whenever it is necessary to conserve the vital interests of our people here or anywhere else in this state and country.—Arthur J.

NOVEMBER 25, 1922 Prior to the recent Congressional election, the Democrats told us that the country is behind Harding but very much dissatisfied with Congress. Now they will change their tune and tell how much dissatisfied the country is with the President. And the country will smile and form its own opinions without regard to what the Democratic politicians say. --- When congress passed the "Sweet Bill," making possible the U. S. Veterans' Bureau and its work of rehabilitation through vocational training, Dec. 16, 1922, was named as a limiting date for the filing of applications for vocational training. The opportunity of filing a claim for vocational training will be gone after that time, unless there is within the bureau a communication of some description setting forth the claim on or before the above mentioned date. Please tell all of our exservice men. A HARDING PRIZE. The report that President Harding had offered a prize for a practical plan for collection of the allied debt to this country has brought scores of suggestions to the Treasury Department. Of course no such prize has been offered. President Harding is perfectly aware that the members of the Foreign Debt Refunding Commission are among the leading financial experts and economists of the country. Their recommendations on the foreign debt situation, based on a study of all the facts, can be accepted as entirely sound. --- "DYER" ANTI-LYNCHING BILL While we take little "stock" in the so-called Dyer bill which if enacted into law will never stand the test of the U. S. Supreme Court, this august body many years ago deciding that the regulation of mob violence was a state right pure and simple, and that as a result the Congress of the United States was powerless to enact a constitutional anti-lynching law, we want to see the matter of constitutionally put squately up to the U. S. Supreme Court again. Therefore, we hope the U. S. Senate will pass the Dyer bill, and also commend the N. A. A. C. P. for the active campaign, particularly against lynching, it is waging in the daily newspapers of the country, this week. --- THE SAME OLD SOUTH. Down in Texas, Mexicans and Afro-Americans are being driven from their homes in Breckinridge. The Mexican government has protested to this government against the lynching of its nationals in this country, a more or less common occurrence in Texas. And there are Americans, even some Afro-Americans if you please, who wonder why the masses of Mexicans hate white Americans so and call them "gringos." They also, at times, think it strange (or at least say they do) that the Afro-American who is insulted, robbed, beaten and lynched, even burned at the stake in the South, and treated far from right as a rule in the North, feels as he most assuredly does in ninety-nine of every hundred cases. SURE, PAY THE DEBT. The new British Chancellor of the exchequer reiterates the stand taken by his predecessor on the debt to the United States. He declares his first duty will be to settle that obligation. "It is a heavy debt," he that we are responsible for it to the last penny, and we are going to pay it." The declaration is not a surprising one. It could hardly be expected that a change in the British government would bring any deviation from the path of national honor. There is no responsible person in Great Britain today who does not take it as a matter of course that every just obligation of his government will be met in full. --- CHAMBERLAIN FOR SHIP SUBSIDY. Former Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, a Democrat, says his party is wrong in opposing a ship subsidy. The word "Subsidy" terrifies a lot of tmid people, but Chamberlain is not of that kind. He has gone into the records and finds that the United States is sending abroad many times as much money for the use of foreign ships as it would have to pay in subsidies to maintain an American merchant marine. He recognizes the fact, which many of his less intelligent or less sincere party associates do, that it is economic folly to save at the spigot and waste at the bunghole. Because other nations can operate ships for less than we can, under American standards, he believes it wise to aid our shipping to such an extent as may be necessary and thereby keep in the United States the hundreds of millions we have been sending abroad to employ foreign labor and capital in the building, outfitting, repairing and operation of ships. There are a lot of Democrats in Congress who might well learn a few lessons from Chamberlain. --- BAN THE BILLET-DOUX. The Post Office Department is entirely reasonabl and right in requesting the public to refrain from mailing cards or letters in unusually small envelopes. The size of the envelope made little difference in the days when stamps were cancelled by hand. Now, however, the envelopes are fed through cancelling machines which handle them with lightning rapidity. The machines are constructed to handle any ordinary size of envelope but the envelopes of Christmas card size won't feed through. The makers of envelopes should keep in mind the requirements of speed in handling mail. The public should refuse to buy the small envelopes. In addition to that, the postal laws should be amended to require additional postage on letters or cards either too large or too small to be handled in the ordinary way. People who insist upon having a special service from the government should be willing to pay for it. THE GLOBE THEATER LEADS. About all of our people in Cleveland, especially those who are patrons of the theaters, know Wm. E. Fountaine and his parents. All have taken pride in his steady advance in his profession and will welcome the exceptional opportunity Manager Bob Davis is furnishing next week in presenting the great race photoplay, "The Dungeon," which features Mr. Fountaine, a local boy, the star of the play, supported by race characters. The Globe management says that the splendid patronage given the theater by our people has been and is such that it is determined to show its appreciation by getting for its patrons only the best and most satisfying attractions that money will buy, and it has and is doing so. Do not miss seeing "The Dungeon," next week, and the usual five great "vodeville" acts. The former is a special added feature to the already excellent bill, and is really a fine picture. The week of Dec. 4 The Globe will have the famous Black Swan artist, Ethel Waters, the highest salaried player yet to appear on that stage under its present management. And still there will be no advance in the regular admission prices. You simply have to give it to him. Manage Bob Dungeon, Next week, in addition to "The Dungeon." The Globe will have Fitzhern & Perry, in a planologue and impersonations; Lizzie Taylor, the delinquerc of many fascinating songs; Burton & Robinson, a very clever pair in a singing, dancing and talking act; Nelson & McPherson, the original "Officer Daybreak," and I am going to do that; "nuf ced"; Johnson & Lee, "from Coast to Coast," that incomparable team that is still different.

Battling Siki still Getting It PARIS, France.—Battling. Siki's rise to pugilistic fame has received another setback when his license was canceled by the French Boxing Federation. This action reinforced the nine months' suspension which Siki received from the federation on Nov. 9. When the suspension expires the Senegalese must apply for a new license. The license was canceled by a vote of 12 to 2 upon charges of various escapades brought by twenty-five sportsmen. Siki First on Carp's Program. PARIS, France.—"All this talk about my fighting Joe Beckett early or late in January is pure "bunk," said Georges Carpentier. "I repeat that I will not fight anybody until I have again met Battling Siki. I hope that the French boxing federation allow him to fight long before his nine-month suspension has expired.

The merchant who considers richest burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. DO YOU advertise? While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days." The merchant who never advertise under any circumstance or condition you imagine he is wise, but his com- petitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake." Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For forty years The Gazette has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED.

Boston Will Not See Siki PARIS, France.—In connection with an offer from a Boston club for a match between Battling Ski and Kid Norfolk, M. Hellers, manager of the Senegalese, told L'Auto that he intended to respect the French Boxing Federation's ruling suspending Ski. By refusing all challenges he hoped to bring about a reduction in the nine months' suspension decreed by the French government, he gave permission for Ski to give exhibitions in the Parisian music halls, so that he might earn his living.

According to one of the stock- holders who has talked with the receiver, the Tate Baseball Co. is over $20,000 "in the hole" and that its creditors will be lucky to realize 25 per cent of what they feel they have coming to them. It seems that a portion of the grand stand is on leased ground and that Strunko has a big (second) mort- gage. The Tate Fielder company is trying to purchase, that about $1,000 is still due ballplayers, that Robinson has a judg- ment for either three or five thousand dollars, secured in the courts when the receiver was appointed a few weeks ago, and that there is no insurance on the fence and grand-stand because they are wood Strunko ("white") is a director of the Tate Baseball Co. and is likely to get the whole thing unless over $1,000 cash can be raised by the stockholders at once. If this isn't "mess," please tell us what it is. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner.

Dec. 15, 1862, departed this life, Nov. 15, 1822, at the Warren City hospital where she had undergone an operation for gall stones. At an early age her parents located in Paulding county, O., where she spent most of her girlhood days. When quite young she joined the Baptist church and continued to be a consistent and faithful Christian to the end. May 22, 1890, she was united in marriage to Adrian to make her to be a woman; she were born four children: Clyde, Ilo B., Mildred M., and Hobart A. Both boys died in infancy. She often said that when the end came she wanted to be buried in Paulding beside the grave of the little boy whom she loved so clearly. In compliance with that request she was laid beside that little grave at 3 P. M., Nov. 17, Rev. Ellisa Underwood officiating. To a representative of The Gazette, the bereaved husband said: "No one can ever know the anguish that we feel in the passing of that good wife and mother there are no words to express our sorrow. No man was ever ever a more devoted companion nor children with a more loving helpful mother. She was always doing something for our comfort and happiness. We know she is gone where there is no sorrow nor affection for which we feel so very glad. If it were not for the many good friends the days would be dark indeed." J.

USED MAPS BEFORE PRINTING STARTED GREEK PHILOSOPHER, WHO LIV ED SIX CENTURIES BEFORE CHRIST AIDED GEOGRAPHY Invented Sun Dial and Also was Builder of Colestial Globe Long before printing was even thought about, records show that maps and charts were in general use. Naturally these were very crude, and in most respects visionary, but they were useful to the great body of those who were reaching out in different directions to determine, at least approximately, locations through knowledge gained by others, just as the modern maps are invaluable. The father of maps was the Greek philosopher of Miletus, Anaximander, who lived during the sixth century before Christ. He was a man of unusual intellect for his period and composed in ionic dialect, a brief and somewhat poetical treatise on his doctrine, which may be regarded as the earliest prose work on philosophy, only a few sentences of which, however, are preserved. The advances he had made in physics and astronomy are evidenced by his invention of the sun dial, his construction of a celestial globe, and his first attempt at a geographical map. Most of his maps were of the heavens and according to Simplicius and Diogenes, he approximated the size and distances of the planets, and wrote a work on geometry in prosse. He was closely followed by another, Miletusian, Aristagoras, about 550 B.C., who made the first attempt at the outlining of a map of the world. His kinsman, Hecateus, who flourished about fifty years later, corrected and enlarged this map and added a commentary. The map consisted only of the eastern half of the then known world. The first purely geographical work which has come down to us in a complete state bears the name of Syriac, and was written in the first part of the fourth century before Christ, and is a description of the Mediterranean sea. Extensive discoveries began to be made at a period shortly afterward, of all which were embodied in a new map about B. C. 320, prepared by a disciple of Aristotle. From this on map making advanced rapidly. The most celebrated of the ancient maps was that of Ptolemy. The Romans about the beginning of the Christian era, were very proficient in the making of maps, considering their limited knowledge. During the middle ages maps were constructed without parallels and meridians, the outlines were very inaccurate and many fanciful details were introduced. The invention of the compass produced important changes. With the dawn of the age of discovery, map making revived and mathematicians, following the example of Ptolemy, devised new methods of protection. Whereas, the maps of the ancients were constructed by distances, points were now fixed as far as possible by astronomical observations. By the end of the eighteenth century most of the important nations of Europe were mapped. Maps were first printed in the second half of the fifteenth century. At first they were made from wood cut but later from copper plates. The im provement in map making from the inception of the art to the artistic representations of the modern workmen are very marked. The greater accuracy and more complete detail contained in the survey have exerted decided influence on the style. The first maps were necessarily compiled from itineraries of travelers, and although controlled in a measure by determinations of latitudes, were greatly in error in longitudes, even after the sphericity of the globe was recognized as a fact. Near the close of the eighteenth century surveying had been developed into a science, but it is only recently the methods of science have been perfected so that they will permit a rapid and reliable determination of the features of a region for cartographic purposes. The facilities for travel and maintenance of parties in the field are so vastly superior that there is left over the whole habitable world an area much smaller than the United States that has not been explored and mapped with reasonable fullness. Ancient maps on tablets of stone can be seen at Rome, and maps in velvim can be found in many national museums. An interesting example of the capabilities of modern workmen to reproduce will be found in the collection of old maps that were issued by the Geographical Society of Berlin at the commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America in 1892, illustrating that event by the reproduction of maps showing the early discoveries and development of the continental outlines. ECCENTRICITIES OF GENIUS Truly Great Men Often Have Remarkable Weaknesses. The innocent weaknesses of distinguished men form an interesting chapter in their history, and many have been indebted for their popularity in wider circles to their peculiarities. The rooms in which they have thought and worked, their domestic life, their great and little qualities, prejudices and fancies, have been as often the subject of remark as their prominent capacities and deeds. Thus often there is an indescribable charm in penetrating into the confidential society of gifted minds, and not seldom has the special fascination in the biographies of noted personages consisted in the relating of some apparently insignificant facts in their more private life. Who is not interested in the crookly button vest of Schiller as a characteristic type of his mind? Who would be willing to lose all the little traits of character and minor occurrences which Goethe has given us of his youth? Biche and Phoebe, the greyhounds of the great Frederick, Richelieu's cat, Jean Paul's lapdog and Napoleon's gray coat are of importance to us, for they belong to the image which hovers before us of those individuals. Distinguished persons often appear in private life very different than in their public works. The noted astronomer, Tycho de Brahe, used to condemn, with the severest contempt those persons who ascribed any omen or prestige to eclipse of the sun or moon, to comets, the aurora borealis, or other appearances in the heavens. He himself was so superstitious that if he chanced to meet an old woman in his morning walk, he at once retraced his steps home, fearing that such a meeting might bring disaster. Montaigne, the moral philosopher, was full of prejudices and superstitions. He would never sit at a table where thirteen persons were seated, would commence no kind of business on a Friday, and was violently agitated if a hare crossed the path before him. The liberal-spirited Byron was equally superstitious. He believed in ghosts, in forebodings, omens and dreams. Friday was a black day in his calendar. He remembered with terror that he had entered upon his journey to Greece on a Friday. In Genoa he once dismissed a tailor because he brought him a new suit on a Friday. In Asia he sought one day for a distinguished lady, whose acquaintance he desired very much, but on arriving at the door, he turned away as he remembered it was Friday. The learned Dr. Johnson had a special dislike of stepping over a threshold with the left foot foremost, and he was often seen to make a great circuit in order to avoid a certain valley in Leicester Fields, which he believed to be fatal to him. Not a few famous men have been noted for their eccentricity of dress. Buffon, the naturalist, was particular, almost to ridiculousness, in his dress. It was his delight to dress in showy, costly material and to wear laces and jewels. He curled his hair with special attention, and when at work wore it always in curlpapers. The English poet, Alexander Pone, dressed like a dandy, and his monstrous bag of hair, his elegant sword, his tight velvet hose and his excessively wide ruffles, gave to his little, crooked figure a comical appearance. Voltaire always fancied elegant toillets and adorned himself in a striking manner. Dickens and the earl of Beaconsfield were fops of the first water. But perhaps Goldsmith was the most addicted to fine clothes and startling effects. "He was fond," says one of his contemporaries, "of exhibiting his muscular little person in the gayest apparel of the day, to which was added a bagwig and a sword." Thus arrayed, he would figure about in the sunshine in the Temple Gardens, much to his own satisfaction, but to the amusement of his acquaintances. Jean Paul was as much of a stoven as Goldsmith was a pop. With a bare chest, without neckcrief or hat, in a wormout coat and with unpolished he wandered through the streets of Bayroot. Once he was even arrested as a vagabond on account of his uncivilized appearance, and only the arrival of the mayor of the city saved the poet from the hands of the zealous officers. Several other literary men have practical striking eccentricities, though not in dress. Picart, the comic writer, composed all of his pieces in bed. The famous Bossuet worked in a cold room, with his head warmly enveloped. It is said that Schiller, before composing, put his feet in cold water. Monesquieu could compose only. In a postchale, with the horses at a rapid trot. The great romancer, Balzac, always wrote, even during the day, by the light of a candle. In his rooms the deepest darkness reigned perpetually, and when friends visited him he never failed to attend them to the door with a light in his hand, even at bright midday. The habit of the French painter, Louis Girodet, was similar. He did not work in the daytime. But at night, when inspiration came to him, he rose, lighted candles, put on a broad-brimmed hat, and, half muffled up, painted with all his might.—Philadelphia Ledger. A man is often luckiest when he fails to get what he wants. Reason to Be Thankful. Blondine—Did you go to the circus? Brunetta—Yes, and I am certainly glad of it. Blondine—Why? Brunetta—Because ever since I saw the hippopotamus I have been more satisfied with my shape. "No; I always steer clear of any one sharper than myself." "Hoo doe ye ken he's sharper than ye?" "He once had a chance ta marry my wife and didn't.-London Tit-Bits. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. NOVEMBER 25, 1922 PUPILS TAKE JOY IN SCHOOL BANKS CHILDREN TAUGHT TO SAVE, TO KEEP ACCOUNTS AND TO LEARN THRIFT System Modeled by Belgian American After European Forms. Pleasure and profit rarely are combined so admirably in any institution, it would seem, as in the school bank, in grammar schools and high schools where this in-ovation has been tried, only the best of results are reported by all concerned—scholars, instructors and the local banker who stands behind the project. The boys and girls learn thrift and have the delightful sense of ownership; they learn to save, while they are having the fun of running a real bank account, and having to draw real checks and make deposits; the pupil teaches his parent and stores up for his own family of the next generation the principle of fore-thought and saving at the same time that he is enjoying a feeling of freedom and independence never experienced before he had "money of his own in the bank." Such, we learn are the blessings of the school savings bank. In a little pamphlet entitled "Five Practical Plans for Operating a School Savings Bank," issued by the saving bank section of the American Bankers' association, from the office of its secretary, E. G. McWilliams, 5 Nassau-st., New York City, we find assurances of even more emphatic nature. The purpose of such systems is to make the school an adjunct of the bank and to make the bank a part of the school. All the five schemes outlined are based on a free reciprocation between these two institutions. The school bank, we are told, is "the lengthened shadow" of its originator, the late John H. Thiry, a Belgian born American, and is modeled after systems already in vogue in Germany, Belgium and France. Mr. Thiry came from a country where in bappier days, the children were early taught that waste was almost the one unforgettable crime. To give freely, to offer hospitality, to the limit of one's resources, to answer the need of a friend with the last crumb and copper—these were virtues ranking only slightly above the art of never wasting an atom of food, chattels or money.—Literary Digest. Way is Found to End Wrecks Caused by broken Rails The New York Central Railway has announced the perfection of a process for the elimination of the hidden flaws in steel rails, one of the chief causes of train wrecks. Already it is declared the New York Central has reduced rail breaks on its own lines from one break in 600 rails to one in 142,000. The process was developed by the New York Central's staff of scientists under direction of Plimmin H. Dudley. It comes after forty years of research by Mr. Dudley, and it is asserted, solves a problem for which experts had declared there was no solution. Flaws—or interior fissures, as they are called—are taken from the rails in reheating plants attached to rolling rails. The process, it is claimed, is a positive remedy. Accidents caused by broken rails in 1915 numbered 3,345, killed 205 persons, injured 7,341 and caused a property loss of nearly $4,000,000. Steel manufacturers have been asked to meet with railroad officials in several eastern cities within the next few days to consider the new method. FIND SQUAW AND CHILD, PETRIFIED, IN CAVERN Discovery at Maquoketa, Iowa, in Rock Chamber Once Retreat of Horse Thieves The petrified body of an Indian woman with a petrified child's body in hcr arms, a most interesting specimen of human petrification, was found last week in a cave near Maquoketa, Iowa, reports Dr. E. H. McCaffrey, an interne at the City Hospital, Minneapolis, who just returned from a vacation spent at Maquoketa, his home town The discovery was unusual because thousands of visitors have walked within a few feet of the bodies without knowing it. Burt's caves, in which the specimens were found, are visited by a great number of people annually. Last week, when an attempt was being made to trace lead ore, three men of the party noticed a huge rock against the wall of the cave and in back of it a small crevice. The men succeeded in moving the rock, and found a small opening in the wall of the cave. Crawling thru on their hands and knees, they entered a small natural room, and there discovered the Indian woman's body with the body of the child. The squaw had been about 5 feet 8 inches in height and the child was about two years of age. Maquoketa people are mystified. McCaffrey declares. No one has been able to give a plausible explanation for the woman and child being penned up as they were found. There was nothing to indicate how long the figures had been there. They might have been there hundreds of years. The huge stone in front of the opening makes the find very mysterious. The stone may have been placed there or it may have fallen from the roof little to hang on to is more remarkable than the tasks performed by the structural iron workers. The iron worker, if he slips, has something at bend in the way of a beam around which he has a chance to lock his arms. The awning remover, when he slips, falls outward from the lodge and has nothing to clutch. Three awning removers on one occasion stripped a seven story flat of seventy five windows in the Bronx, New York City, in the remarkable time of three hours, all from the outside.

HEIGHTS Awning Removers Take Greater Risks Than Steppejacks Steeplejacks have long enjoyed a Steeplejack have long enjoyed a n for daring, but it is a question whether they come in the same class of riskers as the awning removers, who take down the "sun shades" from the fronts of business buildings and houses in the big cities. These removers do not need or use the rope and block and fall accessors of the steeple man. Yet they climb to places and do their work in accus to be an impossible manner. Starting at the street level, two or three awning removers will strip the entire front of a house and never go indoors. They are as agile as acrobats. They reach up to a window sill and then raise themselves to the window ledge. Finishing the window while standing on this ledge, they seize the top stone of the window, pull themselves up to it and from there reach again to the window ledge above, so as to strip another window. Thru the belt they wear runs a line, and with this they lower the awnings as they take them down. How they can do their work with so IS IT OF ANY USE TO CON- TEND, FOR RIGHTS? TEND FOR RIGHTS! Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of no use to resist, downs itself and the world then will say, "Negroes are not worthy of even rights they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. Let us be worthy of the abolitionists, worthy of our own fathers who have died in every war to vindicate the title of their race to equal liberty, and forever resist denial of rights in our native land, however long race discrimination may continue. To submit is to deserve contempt. — Boston (Mass.) Guardian. Remarkable Preparation Makes It Easy for Anyone to Quickly Grow Long, Soft, Silky, Lovely Hair.

Ohio's Anti-Lynching Law Against The Mob and Lynch-Murder—The Work of a Member of The Race—Also Ohio's Civil Rights Law. Our mob-violence or anti-lynching bill was introduced in the Ohio legislature in 1894 and re-introduced in 1896. It took Hon. Harry C. Smith the editor of The Gazette, just three years to secure its enactment into law. The Ohio Supreme Court has several times upheld the law which has been very effective. Only one other state (Illinois) in this country has such a law and it is largely a copy of our Ohio law. Here it is (in the statutes) under the heading Mobs Section 6278. "Mob" and "lynching" defined. 6279. "Serious injury" defined. 6280. Damages in case of assault. 6281. Damages in case of lynching. 6282. Damages recoverable by legal representative of victim of lynching. 6283. Person suffering death or injury by mob trying to lynch another. 6284. Limitations of action. 6285. Order to include recovery and costs in tax levy. 6286. Guardian's custody, etc., fees. 6287. County's right of action against member of mob. 6288. County's right of action against another county. 6289. Non-relief from prosecution. Section 6278. A collection of people assembled for an unlawful purpose and intending to do damage or injury to any one, or pretending to exercise correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of law, shall be deemed a "mob" for the purpose of this chapter. An act of violence by a mob upon the body of any person shall constitute a "lynching" within the meaning of this chapter. (93 v. 161 2.) Section 6279. The term "serious injury," for the purpose of this chapter, shall include such injury as permanently or temporarily disables the receiving it from earning a livelihood by manual labor. (93 v. 161 3.) Section 6280. A person taken from officers of justice by a mob, and assaulted with whips, clubs, missiles or in any other manner, may recover, as hereafter provided, a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars as damages from the county in which the assault is made. (93 v. 161 4.) Section 6281. A person assaulted and lynched by a mob may recover from the county in which such assault is made, a sum not to exceed five hundred dollars; or, if the injury received therefrom is serious, a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars; or, if such injury result in permanent disability to earn a livelihood by manual labor, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars. (93 v. 162 5.) Section 6282. The legal representative of a *p.r.son dying from injuries received from lynching by a mob, may recover of the county in which such injury occurred, a sum not to exceed five thousand dollars damages for such unlawful killing. Such sum shall be distributed among the family and education of the minor children of such person so lynched, if any survive him, until such children are of legal age, and then be distributed to the survivors, share and share alike, the widow receiving an amount equal to a child's share.

OUR OHIO CIVIL RIGHTS LAW Upon the request of many readers of the Gazette we print below the text of Smith's *Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law* which the doctor had enacted while a member of the 71st General Assembly, in 1894: The General Code of Ohio: Sec. 12940. Whoever, being the proprietor or his employee, keeps or manager of an inn, restaurant, eating house, barber-shop, public conveyance by land or water, theater or other place of public accommodation and amusement, denies to a citizen, except for reasons applicable alike to all citizens and regardless of race in the barber-shop full enjoyment of the accommodation or privileges thereof, shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned not less than thirty days nor more than ninety days, or both. Sec. 12941. Whoever violates the next preceding section shall also pay not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars to the person to be recovered in any court of jurisdiction in the county where such offense was committed. This law has repeatedly been held constitutional and good law by the Ohio Supreme court. The trouble is our people will not use it as often as they should, but expect it to do for them what they should and must do for themselves, under it, in the courts. Judge Grant's Opinion of the Law. Misled by the foolishly manufactured outcry for the passage of the Beaty bill, a few years ago, the Akron Beacon Journals assembled an editorial to which the editor's retted reply, calling its attention to the fact that the Ohio Civil Rights law was good law and did not need amending. The following letter from Judge Grant, former presiding judge of the Court of Appeals of the Eighth District of Ohio, is self explanatory: My Dear Sir: Observing your letter in the Beacon-Journal, of this city, I venture to send you a separate cover, the Ohio Law Repos of Feb. 3, last, containing the opinion of the Court of Appeals in the Puritan Lunch Co. vs. Leonard H. Forman, decided in Akron, last fall, in which a judgment for ($500) five hundred dollars was sustained. If the Beacon-Journal had known what was going on in its own town, there would have been no occasion for criticism, editorially. THE LAW OF OHIO IS UNDER NO REPROACH, nor our courts and juries, in administering it. Not a word was said by the Beacon-Journal when the Forman case was reviewed. Very truly yours. C. R. Grant. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will fail by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not oura.-George W. Blount. Values In Business. I believe thoroughly, as everyone knows, in education—in all phases of education. I believe, as well, in all the learned and useful professions. But somehow, I feel that the Negro, like the rest of mankind, must learn to work out more of his problems along business lines than he has in the past; he must learn as others have learned, that a great deal of the so-called race problems can and must be worked out at six per cent. Dr. R. R. Moton. It is a privilege to fearlessly stand for the right— Not a sacrifice, even though you go down. The count not the cost, who fault the good digs. And unflinchingly face the smear or the frown. Joseph C. Manning.
